Handmade Summer Series Part Two: Oliver & S Bucket Hat

Thursday, April 11, 2013

Over the next 7 weeks, along with Amber's awesome summer tutorials, I will show you some patterns, some techniques & mini tutorials on how I created some fun & ADORABLE summer clothes for my munchkins! And the best part is that it's usually way cheaper than what you can buy things for at the store! Plus you get the added bonus of a truly unique item to show off on your little ones.

The first is this adorable FREE pattern from Oliver & S.

The fabric is from Joann, from their Quilters Showcase collection. I love looking through that section every time I go in the store because regular price is $4.99/yd! And if you watch, they regularly put it on sale for 50% off. Yep. $2.49/yd! And of course that is when I snatched this up :)

So let's do the math:

Free pattern = $0

Fabric @ $2.49/yd, 1/3 yd x 2 needed for this hat = 1.66

Interfacing @ $1.39/yd, 1/2 yd = .69

Total: $2.35!

You REALLY can't beat that!

I LOVE this pattern! It really makes the cutest little hats, but then it helps to have the cutest little hat wearers to put them on too, right? :)
